Abstract

See full text

In one aspect, a method of processing the backsides of a batch of semiconductor wafers includes receiving a cassette for wafers in its inverted orientation in which the wafers are horizontally orientated with their front faces facing downwardly, removing the wafers sequentially, or as a batch, and processing the upwardly facing backsides of the wafers. In another aspect, an apparatus for processing wafers from a cassette holding wafers horizontally includes a cassette support where the cassette support is formed to receive an industry standard cassette in its inverted position but not in its upright position.
